Theoretical investigation of a chemical cw HF laser with a telescopic resonator

The results are reported of numerical calculations of stimulated emission from a diffusion-type HF laser with a cylindrical telescopic resonator. Allowance for the mixing of reagents is made using a flame front model. The distribution of intensities between the individual bands is calculated by self-consistent solution of the equations describing radiative transfer and population kinetics of the vibrational levels of the HF molecule.
